Housing
Housing will be a little different in all three site locations. In Syracuse, you’ll live in student apartments; in Florence, you’ll be in shared apartments within a residence building; and in Istanbul, you'll stay in a hotel. On-site staff in each location will work to match you to a housing situation that suits your preferences before departure. Each place you live will vary in size and condition. Living spaces in Italy and Turkey tend to be older and smaller than the California standard. Storage space will also be limited, so pack light and plan to do laundry often.
